Do care and do act

We won’t always know whose lives we touched and made better for having cared, because actions sometimes have unforeseen ramifications.  What’s important is that you do care and you act. – Charlotte Lunsford

This morning as I was eating my breakfast, I glanced to the counter and saw our daughter's lunch.  Every morning, her dear dad, prepares a delicious meal for her while she gets ready for school.  It is all ready for her to swoop into her lunch bag on her mad dash out of the house.

How many times in life as a parent, do we as parents do things for our children that we care about just because it is the right thing to do?  Their lives are better off because we took that time.  Some day in the future, well after the small acts of kindness, we'll hear how much they appreciated those acts.  That's the distant reward.  The immediate one is simply know that through osmosis, you're hopefully teaching them about caring, about being loved, and about growing up.  If nothing else, at least we don't feel guilty that we sent them off with a nutritious meal to help them make it through the day.  Who knows...maybe we're feeding them so that they can take care of us someday too!

Wishing you a day of caring and acting unconditionally.  Some day, you'll reap the rewards!  Thanks for stopping by!

This teaches, love, caring, balanced nutrition,
organization, and planning ahead.
Yep...someday all of those lessons will
be important and appreciated!
The hug and I love you as they race
out the door is proof so far!
